WOMEN'S CHOICE!

Many country hits describe a women's theme, but come from the pens of men, who naturally don't have much idea about women's lives. In the project WOMEN's CHOICE! the true "Wybergschtürm experts" are now making themselves heard and presenting a complete programme of compositions by women. As the Ladies' Choice! orchestra, the eleven musicians explore the field of tension between traditional and new folk music compositionally and musically and meander fresh and joyfully through the most diverse musical styles and moods. Of course, the following applies always and everywhere: "It's a ladies' election!"

The idea came about at the suggestion of the artistic director of the Altdorf Folk Music Festival, which wanted to honour and highlight the influence and importance of women for the development of the folk music scene.
